An unusual visitor

Zoobec · May 26, 2017

Last night the goats had an unusual visitor :shock:

a white peacock

I think it's a male but I don't know

he is lovely. No idea where he has come from, I've seen him this morning on top of the neighbours garage, and managed to get a pic through the window.

I rang the rspca last night but they said they wouldn't come out as he wasn't confined and said he would probably roost in a tree. Neighbours have free range chickens with food out so I think he will be ok. Just a bit worried about dogs and foxes.

I'm going to try to find out where he might have come from, maybe the feed place might know :thumb:

Wow, how lovely

Where I lived previously, a neighbour had peacocks. They weren't confined, but didn't seem to roam. It was nice to hear them communicating with each other

You are so lucky to have seen such a visitor - but hope he/she can be returned home safely.

Beautiful!

Lovely! A family member of mine used to have a peacock that roamed around in the village and nobody knew where had come from.

I've drawn a blank in finding out where he comes from. Tried all the farm visitor centres too! From googling it would seem they sometimes appear and settle somewhere!

He's chosen you....or the goats :lol: He wants to join your zoo :lol:

I can only suggest you place an advert locally somewhere asking "if any anyone has lost a peacock"!

There were loads at Whipsnade when I was a kid :thumb: It does look male, with the proper crest rather than a halfassed job.

When was that? We were there all the time in the 90's but I only remember the colourful sort.

Beautiful!
A lot of people I knew kept peacocks as they are an incredible guarder when they claim territory.

Nor me. It seems quite magical.

I used to travel with my granddad a lot and he once had a job at a Christmas tree farm that he took me to. There were colorful peacocks all about, guarding the place. When they tuned up you had to hold your hands over your ears...it was LOUD stuff! :shock:

Can't imagine a peacock in the UK, let alone a white one. I would guess he's just as loud as a regular bird though. :shock:

:lol: my user name came from a friend saying, "your house is like a zoo,Bec" :lol: someone from up the road came and asked if we had lost a peacock :lol: adverts done, and the word is around.

I thought it was a sign I'd had too much wine on Thursday when we saw him :lol:

Apparently after conversations yesterday they all have crests, but only the male has the long full tail. Not seen the tail yet so can't say if it's male!

Zoobec, the males sometimes lose the tails
